Chapter 50 Things are not what they seem. (1/2)

A large crystal chandelier was hanging over an even bigger round table This table had exactly eight chairs placed around it The chairs looked to be

There were already five people there and they aiting for the last person to arrive

“Mr Thardur sure is late today~”

An extravagantly dressedback in her chair If this wasn’t official business she would have probably placed her long legs on the round table already

“Lately he has been tardier, ever since our little proble at an intricate golden pocket watch This was a very rich merchant that owned most of the food-related stores in the city He placed the watch back into his pocket and then glanced to an eentle beforehand”

“That’s why I don’t like alchemists, always stuck in their work They are no fun”

The elven woh her luscious lips while grue door that led into this room opened and a fellow council member walked in It was the dwarf called Thardur, his size had increased since the last tiled about which caused so not to stare

“Whit's wi' dem looks, a'm 'ere alredy”

The dwarf sat on his chair that was a specially e posterior This was the sao He didn’t look like he was going through hard tier fro went back to normal He did inform the council about who the true perpetrator was as it was better to have e

Everyone knew the noble responsible but they also knew that he couldn’t really do much anymore His secret was out, they could now retaliate but not out in the open

They were powerful ether they could force the city under, they just needed to get all of their investet of the city would be horrendous if they weren’t there to pay taxes

This was so underhanded et them to sell their businesses to him They weren’t entirely sure why this particular noble did what he did From what it looked it was related to ive up

Since that incident everything was quiet, the uards and a more robust information network between each other Still, the noble was quiet and didn’t seem to make any more moves The taxes didn’t increase either and he didn’t iven up

Soon otten about this incident and moved on with their lives It had ended quite fast due to Exeor’s involvereater than what this city could hold They so like that to happen again They were like a shi+eld keeping them safe and it felt like they ell protected

Thardur the dwarf looked at the enome was supposed to sit The other ed hi on your ical weapons hae bin seen oan th'that so runic weapons This das the owner of most of the smithies around the city He made it clear that Exeor was responsible for it He wanted to ask the gno up the runes on his territory but if the gno but complain

“On another note, The eldest son of the Count will be returning from the border soon, son ended in a draw again It will probably take them at least half a year more but we should expect an infusion of money due to the increase of soldiers stationed here”

When the soldiers came they expected to receive orders for new and improved weapons There would behohts would probably spend the ht district would probably be really busy by then

“Is that so, how about…”

Anotherto speak but he noticed so He looked to the side for a aze

“So his fat neck to where theIt was a soutside This room was mostly sealed off from the outside and there were even soldiers placed on the roofs so that no one could eavesdrop on their conversations

“No,there, the dwarf turned back to the table and the boring lances at the voluptuous elven wos that ht have seemed that he wasn’t fond of her but in reality, it was the other way around

He was aAwith an owner of the redlight district His very conservative ould also probably chop hipeculiar The elven wo She liked to tease hi it more sensually than ever before The other members didn’t seem to have noticed and just continued with some back and forth business talks

‘Whit's that ht to hi continued Within the next fifteenback home It was about 8 pm now and the city was already dark The curfeould be starting in an hour or so This was enough tiet to theirlike that didn’t really concern them No one would actually try to stop thehtown It was one of the ate opened up and he was greeted by his servants after riding through his grand garden There wereto welcome their master home

He walked in slowly and his coat was carried away by one of the servants His old asn’t here to greet hie of convenience Just two rich faether to become richer

He had his bath prepared and ate hisin so and weren’t here Soon he was in his sleeping robes walking towards his huge sleeping quarters

Some of the maids knew these bed chambers as he so in a totally different wing of this et public and allowed her husband to have his fun

This night would be slightly different, as he walked into his room he felt a draft The balcony was open and the drapes were fluttering around His eyes weren’t drawn to this though, there was a certain woht it was one of hissilver hair They were almost as white as snow and the woht places while slender in the others

“Lilatah?”

He asked with eyes bulging out, as the owner of the red light district here and as she naked on his bed

The woman didn’t answer and just beckoned with her hand, her plump chest shook tenderly with every hand motion that she made The dwarf sed his saliva and was instantly captivated by the wo his was telling hiet of adoration was there and there was no one here to interrupt them

The old das consumed by lust, he quickly ju between those velvety pillows The wo his approach

The e Thardur just frantically assaulted the ue It was as if he felt that if he didn’t act fast that the woman would disappear into the mist and he wouldn’t have another chance

He started cli on top of her to finally seal the deal but then so woers started contorting in unnatural ways The dwarf hadn’t noticed this yet, she was hugging hiits started getting longer and longer, soon losing their shape They looked like elongated whips and they continued expanding Those finger-like whips quickly wrapped theuard

“What?”

Thardur’s neck was norapped around by a strange-looking tendril and yanked back The beautiful worin was unnatural and her lips started parting showing quite the set of sharp teeth
